I moved recently, and when I moved I discovered this VHS tape in my attic, simply labeled in black marker: Howard Stern. It should say, more specifically: The Howard Stern Radio Show. This was a television show that aired late at night on Saturdays on CBS back around the turn of the century. The show mainly consisted of naked chicks and inappropriate jokes and interviews. I recorded the contents of this tape back in 1999 when I was 16 or 17 years old for, uh, scientific reasons. Definitely not for the naked chicks. Anyway, I figured this tape should count as canon in my VHS mix collection, so I watched the whole thing and I wrote down the contents of it. Since this tape was recorded before Funny Mix #1, I decided to label it as VHS Tape #0. It's like a prequel to my vast collection. The grand daddy that birthed a whole generation of VHS tapes. Anyway, let's get to the contents of this tape, shall we?

END OF TAPE
In retrospect, it was quite interesting coming back and watching this thing that I recorded back when I was 16 or 17 years old. A lot of the humor hasn't aged well. Lots of inappropriate sexual and racial jokes are made that definitely would NOT fly nowadays. But it's a fun little time capsule and I liked watching it.
